2> second pop up will display records based on last name matched
3> third pop up will display records based on first name match
4> fourth pop up will display records based on DOB matched.

Please provide me solution asap.I am searching from last one week.

Any alternative idea how to implement it????

You could use a ComboBox control for that what you want.

but how to use searching in combobox..
Could you elaborate exactly whats in your mind..I already tried with combobox..

ComboBox has FindString and FindStringExact methods.
Look here for an example of use.
Succes!

Have you tried using 2 comboBoxes?

One can be for the search(i'll call it 'Search') criteria so load it with these options: 'All', 'First Name', 'Second name', 'DBO'.

On the DBO_LostFocus event you can check the 'Search' combobox'es selected index, perform the relevant search and load the 'DBO' comcobox with the results of the search.

It should work.
